Every time a new or unacquainted user starts using the QuickBooks, it is likely that he/she will encounter an error. These errors are displayed with a specific code. These error codes display the message that gives an idea to the user of what it is about. One such QuickBooks error code is 6177. It conveys that the company file will not be accessed anywhere except where it is located as the path is unknown to the computer. This error usually occurs when the file is set to multi-user mode.

The developers have carefully studied the error and found the common cause of the same. It is explained below:

• Now, save the file in a portable folder in the drive c.

• Again, select the company file and access it from the server.

2. Updated version of QuickBooks

The users are asked to make sure that they are running their files on an updated version of QuickBooks. Every product of Intuit has its recent or updated version available on the website. So, it is advised to upgrade the QuickBooks from the website itself in order to resolve the error.
